Thoughts of a semi-nerd

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is an open world action-adventure video game. I completed GTA 4 in Jan 2018 and I loved it from the beginning till the last mission. I played GTA Vice City few years ago and clocked some gaming time with other variants of GTA, but my favourite so far is GTA 4. Great Story The intriguing story is the best part of GTA 4. The game follows an European immigrant in US and teaches a lot of life lessons on the way. As a gamer, we must take some decisions in the game that changes the course of the game. This makes the game even more interesting. At the end of the game, we are left with a feeling that money isn't everything. Image credit: Wikipedia Characters There are many characters that would leave a mark. My second favorite, followed by the protagonist Niko, is Little Jacob . He is a genuine person who values friendship more than money or his own life. Realistic Gameplay The car damage, bomb explosion and people' health is very realistic. I haven...

Rhino Leave the rhinos alone. Stay away from them. They inflict a lot of damage and also hard to kill. Period. Elephant Once you have enough XP points, you can use them to buy "ride elephant" from your skills menu. They are very helpful when you are surrounded by a lot of enemy soldiers. When you ride in them, they just toss your enemies and vehicles like they are nothing. They are also very hard to kill. Snake Usually green in color. They inflict small damage per attack, but annoying as your guns are not so effective against them. Use your sword to kill them. Tiger They are very ferocious and aggressive. You've to be very fast in killing them if you just want to use sword. Better to stay a bit far and shoot them when they come running towards you. You can slice them when they are too close after which you can skin them. Enemy soldiers with Guns Usually the range of the enemy soldiers is not so good, but they can spot you on an open ground. ...

After Call of Duty , this is another game that gave me a sense of satisfaction once I completed the Campaign mode. From the first level to the last, I loved every bit of it. The beauty of this game lies in the Screenplay; Yes, I mean Screenplay and not the Gameplay which is equally awesome but I'll come to it later. We play as the Master Chief in the game, as was the case with the previous 3 instalments of Halo. We are accompanied by Cortana, an Artificial Intelligence make, throughout the game. The game revolves around Chief and Cortana. In all the games I have played, I was the protagonist. In this game though, I'd say Cortana is the key and we just accompany her to accomplish the tasks at hand. In fact, Cortana is the one who wakes us from cryonic sleep thereby initializing the game. Cortana is such an intelligent AI that I wonder can such things really exist in the future. I have to say, Graphics in the game is absolutely awesome. To give a glimpse of the...
